Dr. Patrick Isakson is the Dean of Admissions and a professor of Women's Studies at Greendale Community College. He received his bachelor's degree in Women's Studies from Colorado State in 1995. It is unknown where he received his doctorate, but he currently works at Greendale. He starred in Greendale's The 5 As videos, promoting the school. Although he seems at first calm and easy going, he is shown to have a violent temper. Isakson is portrayed by Community creator Dan Harmon.

Character history[]

Season One[]

Before the study group enrolled at Greendale, Dr. Patrick Isakson took part in a series of promotional videos for the school. In the four online episodes Isakson presented a brief history of the school before explaining the advantages of enrolling at Greendale. This included the "Five A'"s: Accessibility, Affordability, Air conditioning, Awesome new friends, and A lot of classes. While onscreen he seemed calm and personable, outtakes revealed his more temperamental side ("The 5 As").

Season Two[]

In the study group's second year at school, the end of the year paintball tournament is hijacked by City College. Two of the invading enemy paintballers were walking the hallways when they noticed a Greendale poster featuring Patrick Isakson. They mocked the poster unaware it was a trap to lure them into position. Paintball shots exploded from behind the poster and it was revealed Annie and Abed had just eliminated them from the competition ("For A Few Paintballs More").

In the study group's sixth year at school, Jeff, Annie and Britta rebel against the newest member of the Save Greendale Committee Frankie Dart. She established a no alcohol on campus policy so they created a secret speakeasy club underneath Shirley's Sandwiches. Taped above the speakeasy's bar was a picture of Patrick Isakson with a written reminder not to serve him ("Ladders").
